Brianne N. Daigneault, 34

HOOKSETT — Brianne Nicole Daigneault left this world on Sept. 1, 2015, after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer.

Brianne was born Feb. 5, 1981, in Newburgh, N.Y., daughter of John Daigneault and Billie (Smith) Robson.

Brianne was a kindred spirit with animals of any sort. She was a kind, gentle person, touching many hearts in her short life here. She never complained about her brave battle with this insidious disease, but rather wanted to know how everyone else was. She cherished time with family and those she loved, and was always excited and prepared early for her favorite holiday ­ Halloween. She left her mark here by showing us her courage, humility, generosity, and genial attitude to all those around her.

Brianne's schooling started in her community around Bloomingburgh, N.Y.. She came to Bristol in 1998 and graduated from Newfound Regional High School in 1999.

She fell in love with the Lakes Region and would spend almost the past 17 years in Bristol, Tilton and finally Hooksett.

Brianne had worked for J. Jill in Tilton for the past 15 years. She worked those last few years with dignity even while battling her disease.

Brianne leaves behind her parents, John and Mary Ann Daigneault of Laconia, and Phil and Billie Robson in Bloomingburgh, N.Y.; brothers Paul (Lisa) Daigneault of Laconia, and Thomas (Breinn) Daigneault of Gilmanton; stepsister Andrea (Garth) Woolsey of New Hampton; and stepbrother Ryan (Tosha) Smith of Bristol. She also leaves behind her three uncles, "Bud" (Marsha) Daigneault of Laconia, Thomas (Cindy) Daigneault of Laconia, and Charles Smith of Newburgh, N.Y.; several nieces and nephews; three "girl" cousins, especially Lindsey Daigneault, her good friend. Brianne also leaves behind her soulmate and love of her life, Brett Rudolph, who stood by Bri through any hardships to the very end of her life. They made their home in Hooksett.

Brianne was predeceased by her maternal grandparents, George "Papa" and Billie Smith of Newburgh, N.Y.; paternal grandparents, Paul Daigneault of Laconia, and Irene (St. Cyr) Daigneault Bartlett of Sanbornton, and aunts Kathy Daigneault and Janet Daigneault.

There will be no calling hours per Brianne's request. A celebration of her life will take place later per her family.

Brianne's dad and mom thank all the generous people who donated to her Go Fund Me pages, Payson Cancer Center in Concord, and Concord Visiting Nurse, Hospice Department of Concord. These wonderful people went beyond their professionalism to make Bri's treatments and final care with kindness and dignity. She fought her cancer for over six years and these people enabled her to have this time with all the loves of her life.

Any donations made in Brianne's honor can go to your favorite animal shelter, or Humane Society, and Concord Visiting Nurse Association, c/o Hospice Dept., 30 Pillsbury St., Concord NH 03301.
